Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling”, Honk! tells the story of an odd looking baby duck, Ugly, and his quest to find his mother. A show designed with the family in mind, Honk Jr. is set in the countryside and features Ugly, a duckling who is rejected by everyone but his mother, Ida; a sly tomcat who wants to eat Ugly; and other barnyard creatures. In this tale of tolerance, we learn that one must never give up despite obstacles that come our way; and that we can find true happiness in friendship and in love.
